About

About this crossing

The Hidalgo–Reynosa bridge joins central Reynosa with Hidalgo, Texas, at the doorstep of McAllen. It is the classic crossing of the Rio Grande Valley: General, Ready Lane and SENTRI vehicle lanes plus an intense pedestrian flow of shoppers and cross-border workers. Its line breathes with McAllen's retail calendar — weekends and sale seasons stretch it — and with Reynosa's factory shifts, so comparing it hourly with Anzalduas and Pharr almost always pays.
